Residential fridge


Recommended Posts

Keep the fridge happy, pull the bottom plate and blow out the coils once a year. Ten minute job will keep that fridge humming for many moons to come!

I worked for a commercial refrigeration company for a while and the best (simple profits) was the call we got from the convenience stores that their beer coolers were not working well enough.... 9 times out of 10 their condensers were full of dust and lint. We come with the nitrogen bottle, blow out the dust and charge 'em $500 ... and the were glad to pay it. YOU ARE CORRECT: BLOW OUT THE DUST AND SAVE YOUR COOLING UNITS, refer or AC

Ha, just did this yesterday. Filled the kitchen with dust. Thinking next time of taping plastic around the fridge area first. Anyone figured out a way to trap the dust?

We minimize the dust by using our shop-vac to suck as much as possible up before we start blowing things out, it helps enough to be worth the effort.

 

I wonder if you could do something with a dust collection bag like they use in woodworking shops? They are designed to collect dust and pass air so if you could figure out how to fit one it might do a decent job.

I use a shop vac as well to get what I could. Suppose it had been a long time so the dust buildup was very large. Perhaps I should have also turned down the PSI on the compressor to a minimum.
